3 D Coat

[Sally Lavender]

Hi :) Anyone seen any good second life relevant tutorials for 3 D Coat that they would care to share ?

Thanks in advance :)

3D coat is a software I think a lot of designers will soon be using because of its powerful sculpting tools, easy interface (sorry I find zbrush horribly confusing) and support for painting materials onto mesh surfaces.

 (series worth watching)

Workflow would work as follows:

1) Sculpt out your creation

2) Paint it with 3 layers (diffuse, normal, specular)

3) Export model as collada .dae file.

4) Import the .dae into SL as well as your 3 UV map textures which should contain diffuse, normal and specular information. I have some advice on my site about what resolutions to choose to avoid straining people's viewers.
